hey I've got a question about Kagi: so, a bunch of third party apps made for Reddit are getting killed this month because Reddit decides to jack up the prices. What's going to happ…

Thanks for the link. Could you give an example of something you learned better/easier after having implemented a simplified version? Side question: Is there a entry level build you…

This articles reads more like a student recruitment brochure than an actual article

Very nice history. I couldn't understand the "how AChE works" portion, but found this article and its diagrams helpful. https://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/weap.html near as I c…

IIRC, financial fraud that makes the country (e.g., from its citizens/organizations) lose a lot of money is a capital offense in China. And also everything you own will be confisca…

Looks like the policies* are starting to work. Good. Hopefully they can avoid "The Bubble Which Will Dwarf All Other Bubbles" http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/14/us-china-pro…

It's interesting how entitled people feel from $10-15. I'm just glad Toady (of Dwarf Fortress) doesn't have to deal with this kind of behaviour.

>One is they learn how to create new ideas from existing ones This is how our brains are wired to work: the more places we can cross-reference the material from, the more likely we…

I'm unfamiliar with Quora. How is it different from, say, yahoo answers or stackOverflow??

=) then you can tell people you are this many years old this year, up until you're 31.

What is...not understanding the limitations of the Socratic method, clearly outlined at the bottom of the link? Everything that we know can be broken down into "basic" atoms which …

Plato's Republic?

I'm very very interested in considering homeschooling. How did the article's method differ with your child, since the "class size" is reduced to one? Your child won't have the bene…

in an ideal world, none of the founds will need the money to pay rent or pay for child care etc, they'd all be young guys with no debt living at home. The fact that one founder may…

What kind of form....just email? I would personally be very hesitant to fill out a form for free software (trial? full?), and be completely turned off by the prospect of having sal…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3po2gdQNgqk I remember watching the episode of Top Gear where James May drives the new moon buggy, then sits down and talk about the old moon buggy. …

Right. So the IOUs need to be a form of investment as well. re: star employee example--it's not how much you made the company, it's how much of the company is yours to begin with. …

WOAH you just suggested a Palin-target style game, except instead of a map, you use images of people. Too soon, my friend. A funnier idea might be an app to throw elephants at donk…

His answer for "What happens if not all the early employees need to take a salary? " makes sense, but leaves the question of "why don't I get paid now instead of getting paid later…

One positive about this game is that I would not have to go back for that "last" pellet I left behind, surrounded by ghosts and no power pellets left.

Not as idle a comment as it would seem. In a marriage, the stakes are high, the "opponent" is someone you know well, and the difficulty can increase faster than in the "outside" wo…

a definite disadvantage of being non-middle aged is that my friends do not parody Dr. Johnson, they post pictures of their last meals with their boyfriends. HN is one of the means …

The paper itself doesn't talk about "explaining" this paradox in quantum theory: that's the next paper, apparently. I'm more interested in whether anyone else also picked bet I and…

there's simply no reason why they can't either a) parse the zip code differently based on country, or b) why country isn't listed first if there are uncrossable chasms. To do neith…
